Fish Eat Fish Unblocked — Play Free Online

Fish Eat Fish takes the rule that drives Wormate and moves it under water. You start as a small fish in a shared tank. Anything smaller than you is food, anything bigger is a threat, and the only way to change which group you belong to is to eat.

A session is a loop of nibbling, dodging and growing. Early on you stay near the small fry and keep clear of the larger swimmers. As you get bigger, the fish that used to chase you start to flee, and the tank feels different. It suits a few minutes between other things, and a bad run costs you nothing because you can jump straight back in.

If you came to Wormate for the grow-and-avoid tension but want a calmer, less crowded feel, this is a good change of pace. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

Games of this type steer with the pointer. Move the mouse, or drag a finger on a touch screen, and your fish swims toward it. Click once inside the game window first so it receives your input. Some games in this style also let you hold a click to swim faster. Try it in the first few seconds and see whether this one does.

The one rule to remember is to compare sizes before you commit. Swim at fish clearly smaller than you, and turn away from anything that looks as big as you or bigger.

Tips

• Stay near the edges of the screen while you are small. Being in the middle means larger fish can come at you from any side.
• Don't chase a fish that is only slightly smaller than you. It is often fast enough to get away, and while you chase it you can drift into something bigger.
• When a big fish is close, turn away early instead of at the last moment. A wide, early turn works better than a panicked one.
• Go fullscreen if the fish are hard to tell apart at the default size. Judging size correctly is the whole game.

Similar games on Wormate

Wormate is the obvious comparison, since it has the same grow-by-eating idea with a worm and glowing food. Snackio and Snake.io are two more games where growing bigger makes you a target for everyone else. Google Snake is the quiet, single-player version if you want no opponents at all.

The game suits quick sessions on a laptop, a Chromebook or a phone, and it is easy for a first-time player to pick up.
